how much baby food is your baby eating?

I know every baby is different. We started baby food in addition to breast milk at 5.5months. He still only eats a few bites a couple times a day. Only once he finished a 2.5 ounce packet the same day. I end up throwing away baby food often because he does not finish them in three days! Anyone else? He drinks around 25- 28 oz of breastmilk (I EP).

My kid is an eater, so this might not be relevant to you... She eats about 5-6 oz of food at a sitting, plus water in a sippy. She still nurses almost as much as she used to- we seem to have dropped only one nursing session so far. I suggest making your own baby food. It's super easy. Pinterest has lots of recipe ideas. Making your own is super cheap too. Store purees in ice cube trays- which are about an ounce of food, then freeze. Once the food is frozen, run the back of the tray under hot tap water to release- and store food cubes in ziplocs. That way you can just thaw what you need- an ounce at a time. I microwave cubes for 45 seconds, stir and serve. I make lots of foods and just store until I need them. Makes it easy to store a variety!

Every kid is different- and he's still kinda young, I bet he'll like food more eventually- if he's still getting enough milk- don't worry- food is for fun right now anyway!

Ds didn't eat much the first month. Once we started fruits in the evening as his 2nd meal he started eating 2 of the small gerber pouches. Now, he eats a ton in the evening and they say he eats a 2nd size container of veggies at dc, but it,took a month or so.

My LO is 8 months and only eats 2oz a day (on a good day). He eats 1 oz a sitting. He nurses about every 2 hours though.

What do you use to blend the food into a puree?

I use a food processor, but a blender would work too.

So glad to know I'm not alone! My LO is 8 mos and refuses to eat more than 2 bites here and there. Then, when he does eat it seems like it hurts his tummy. We did see a GI specialist but that turned up nada.
